Map & location
Costa Adeje, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Set on the exclusive stretch of Costa Adeje, JOIA El Mirador by Iberostar overlooks golden Playa del Duque – one of Tenerife’s most coveted beaches. The hotel’s gardens tumble gently towards the promenade, putting seafront cafés, designer boutiques and chilled-out bars within a short stroll.
Costa Adeje itself balances upscale marinas and glitzy shopping with laid-back Canarian charm and easy access to whale- and dolphin-watching in the Atlantic.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s centrepiece is its sweeping outdoor freshwater lagoon-style pool, shimmering like a mirror amid palm trees and terracotta archways. The main pool is heated (seasonally), with integrated whirlpool sections for a little extra indulgence, and generous sunbathing areas lined with sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols.
There’s also an additional plunge pool and a more exclusive outdoor freshwater pool with two whirlpools reserved for Star Prestige guests – the perfect spot for a quieter swim and elevated views. Pool towels are complimentary.
Beyond the gardens, a gate leads directly to Playa del Duque, a golden-sand Blue Flag beach lapped by typically calm Atlantic waters. The seafront promenade connects you to other nearby beaches and beach clubs, so you can easily explore on foot.
